Recently I was grumbling about the quality of a sermon at Church.  I didn't think it was deep enough ... I didn't care for the pithy commentary ... I didn't think it was a good use of my hour I suppose.  It struck me that, perhaps the Church was not the one for me ... then it struck me that perhaps I was not the right one for that Church!

Then I realized that I was becoming trapped in one of the devil's classic devices.  As I grumbled about my Sunday experience, I was really exposing how I drifted in my Monday through Saturday relationship with God.  I had drifted from reading the Bible, praying to God, and contemplating His grace.  I had moved work ahead of my relationship with God, and had begun to slide back towards the anxieties and frustrations that come from relying on self-actions and efforts.
